jina 's review for:
Twenty Boy Summer
by Sarah Ockler
5 out of 5 stars
Where to start with this book?
I previously read Bittersweet which I really enjoyed and decided to read this book through recommendations, although this book is set in the Summer and I read the book in the Winter I have no complaints!
SPOILERS AHEAD
This book got me crying by the end of the second chapter and cried three more times after, while reading this book. It was unexpected to cry this much but feelings were involved (The Helicopter Pilot's performing, the last talk Anna and Frankie had in Zanzibar Bay and Chapter 33)
Ockler's descriptions without overemphasizing the details made me fall for this book, as well as, creating and developing real, raw relationships through the characters. The style of writing was just beautiful. The figurative language drew me in and added to all the wonders of the book.
This book made me look at the beach, water in a new way and how we all have our own secrets like the ocean, "sad blue secret keeper".
Last but not least the cover is beautiful and after reading the book I had a revelation- the sea glass colors. The details, style of writing, story itself, growth- SO much perfection in this.
P.S. Was anyone else wanting a sequel or at least a continuation?!
